Great idea for an extension.

One thing I noticed straight away that I thought was worth mentioning is that a notification doesn't popup when visiting the regional Amazon websites like Amazon.co.uk/.de/.es/.it, despite it being possible to enable 2FA for these sites through Amazon.com.

This is also mentioned on twofactorauth.org...

Enabling on Amazon.com activates 2FA on other regional Amazon sites, such as UK and DE.



Thanks for the feedback! We use the data from twofactorauth.org as our main data feed, so that is where we pick up the domains.

I am definitely open to augmenting those entries, but trying to think about ways to either automate (ideal) or crowdsource contributions on the data side.

Any thoughts? Would you be interested in contributing data updates like this?


Do you think twofactorauth.org would be willing to list the regional Amazon websites separately so that your extension can pick them up automatically?


I am not a core committer for twofactorauth.org (yet! I hope to become one!), so I cannot say whether they will accept a PR like that. However, there is an open issue discussing this topic that is worth reading over [1].

2FA Notifier has a bit of an easier job since we don't have to render anything or make it searchable (as of today). I would happily review any PRs along these lines! The data is currently hard coded in a Typescript file, which makes it really easy to update [2].

I plan to document criteria for contributing data to 2FA Notifier like this, but just haven't had the time. One entry per PR would be ideal if you are motivated to contribute!
